Take from my heart a splinter
Carrying wood for the coming winter
Spied her in the pile
There all the while
Leave me beguiled
Part of me
Absentee
Take from the people their dead river
Take from the body its shiver
I have something for you
I'll give you a clue
It's shaped like a shoe
Pardon me
Absentee
Hours before I knew
Hours before you want to
And the truth
Walking on the country road late last night
I passed a stranger in the moonlight
I turned around to see
Where he did flee
But there was just me
Return the deep
Absentee
Part of me
Absentee
Part of me
Absentee
